Chapter five

'Magorian, how are you?'

'I am fine Harry Potter. But you wanted to know how the boy found out about the stone?'

'Yes, no one knew apart from my friends.'

'That boy comes in here quite a lot, over the last year we have found him sitting in the clearing. He talks to himself, always asking how can he make his parents happy again, that they haven't been happy since their lord was killed and he's life has been terrible since that night. Bane overheard him one day and spoke to the boy. As you know Bane does not like humans, but he became friendly with the boy and told the story of what we witnessed that night you came in here to face Voldemort.'

'So you saw me called my parents, godfather and Remus back from the dead?' Harry sighed.

'Yes, we saw Harry Potter. We were watching in the hope you could bring order to our world. So many of us died just like so many of you died, but you were always different, so we all hoped you could win and we will be always grateful to you for that. So now you know how the boy knew of that stone and he has been trying to find it. If he is like those that were with Voldemort that night, then he should not have possession of the stone so it is good that you found it.'

'Yes, I'll take this with me and hide it somewhere else. Thank you Magorian for the information, but could you tell me if the boy has gone anywhere else in your forest?'

'No he has not, he only comes to this area. Now I will leave you and your friend in peace,' the large centaur gave Harry a small head bow which he returned then Magorian turned and disappeared into the dark forest.

'He was going to bring him back if he found this,' Harry looked at the stone then put it in his pocket, 'I don't want to go through that again.'

Susie saw a look on Harry's face that she has never seen before, he looked vulnerable, insecure and she could just see a trace of fear there and realised that what Harry went through for years has left him a bit traumatised.

Susie took Harry's hand, 'I want to show you something before we explain to Minerva, got some time to spare?'

'Sure, lead the way.'

Susie and Harry headed towards the quidditch pitch, they stepped onto the grass, but Susie kept moving until she came to the stands, then slipped under the covering, pulling Harry with her. Then she tapped a section of wall and a door appeared.

'I thought I knew every secret about this place and I have good reason, but this never showed up.'

'I made it unplottable after I did this. There were times I wanted to be alone, so I worked this out. Come in and have a look,' Susie pulled Harry through the door, 'I snuck old furniture out of the room of requirement and brought it down here. Just a couch, a small table, desk and chair, then I would sit here and either think, read or study.'

'No fireplace, so you cast warming charms during winter?'

'Yep, now what did you mean this never showed up,' Susie asked then stepped closer to Harry and pushed his robes off, before her hands went down and undid his pants and Harry never protested or stopped her.

'I might show you one day,' Harry pushed Susie's robes off, then undid her button of her shorts she wore underneath. When they were both naked, Harry made Susie sit, then he knelt between her open legs and started to use his tongue, licking her, then he flicked his tongue against her nub which started her writhing and moaning, groaning and calling his name until her orgasm took over. Harry kept his tongue moving for another minute, then he was lying between her legs, thrusting hard as she had her legs wrapped around his waist again. They spent the next hour having sex, once on the couch, once standing against the wall. 'That's twice we've done this.'

'Well more than twice Harry, it was four times that first night and twice now.'

Harry grinned, 'You know what I mean, but we should go tell Minerva what's going on.'

'Yep, we should, but you have to show me whatever you were talking about.'

'I will,' Harry chuckled then they both dressed before heading back to the castle. They found Minerva in the great hall with all the students having dinner. They slowly walked up between the tables to a lot of loud whispers about Harry Potter being at Hogwarts but also two aurors.

'Did you find out anything Harry?'

'Yes, more than I wished, but I'll explain in private. Without being obvious, there's a Slytherin boy, sixth or seventh year by the look of him. Dark curly hair, about three quarters of the way up towards us, facing away. He's the one we need to discuss.

Minerva nodded, then kept eating, but glanced around the great hall, just making it look like she was keeping an eye on the students. When she finished eating, the three of them headed straight out of the great hall and up to Minerva's office.

'The boy is Dalbert Saxon, his father as far as we know was a death eaters, but the minister was never able to get proof. We also think his mother was one, but again, no proof. So it was him that brought in the hand of glory.'

'Yes, but that's not all,' Harry pulled the stone out of his pocket, 'He was looking for this.'

Minerva saw the symbol on the stone and sucked in a sharp breathe, 'How did he know of the stone?'

'Magorian told me they saw me that night, but Bane befriended this kid and told him the story of who I brought back. It wasn't that hard for me to find it and I saw footprints not far from this. So I'm taking it out of here and I'm going to hide it somewhere else.'

'Do you think he was going to bring back Voldemort?'

'Yes, since his parents are alive. Magorian said when they heard the boy he was talking about finding a way to make his parents happy that they haven't been happy since their lord was killed. One good thing though, he never went anywhere else in the forest. Now we don't mind searching, but Magorian said he only went to the clearing.'

'No, I think you've found what he was doing, you don't need to keep searching. I will get Hagrid to keep an eye on him and that area, but I believe you're right, he was looking for the stone.'

'I never thought anyone would find it, me included, but it was too easy. One thing though, you haven't noticed any kids near Albus' tomb, more than normal that is?'

Minerva sighed, 'I have seen a few Slytherin's near it, as you know though, that tomb has more than normal enchantments around it to stop anyone from breaking it open again.'

'Yeah, we used a lot of magic to seal the tomb that day. Do you believe they think it is there or they just might want to check that it's there?'

'If I was to guess, they believe you put it with Albus.'

'Yeah, once they realised what I was talking about and that I don't have it on me, yeah, they know I hid it. All anyone had to do is a bit of research and they would realise it used to belong to Albus and everyone knows I was close to him, so it makes sense I would put it back with him. Too bad I thought of that first so it only looks like I put it back with its last owner.'

'Yes, very clever Harry,' Albus Dumbledore smiled down from his portrait.

'Hello Dumbledore,' Harry gave him a smile, 'Looks like I have to hide the stone now.'

'Yes, but you know you could disguise it and hide it in plain sight that way if anyone saw it, they would not know what it is.'

Harry chuckled, 'Great idea, like always from you Dumbledore. I just might do that,' Harry turned back to Minerva, 'What do you want us to do with the kid, we can get proof he brought in the hand of glory, but that's all we can do unless he actually used it.'

'I think you should, that way I can discuss his options with him. Since he has seen you and Susie here and probably knows you went into the forbidden forest, he might not be easy to find. So do you have it on you?'

'No, but it would only take me a few minutes to get it if you can allow me to floo to my place and back?'

'I can do that and Susie can keep me company,' Minerva pulled her wand and waved it towards her fireplace, 'I'll change it the moment you come back.'

'I won't be long and Susie, I'll explain in a moment,' Harry grinned then stepped into the fireplace.

'Harry explained about the stone and that only you, the minister, Hermione and Ron know. The middle brother in the story got the stone. Word went around about the elder wand, is that what you two were talking about with Professor Dumbledore's tomb?'

'Yes, Harry originally was going to put it back with Albus. But as you heard, he believed others would think of that, so he decided to hide it somewhere else. None of us know where he hid it and it is safer that way. So even if Harry was disarmed, they still wouldn't find the wand.'

'Got it,' Harry stepped out of the fireplace, went over to Minerva's desk, put the parchment down, 'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good,' Harry tapped the old map, then stood back laughing as he watched Susie staring as Hogwarts was revealed before her.
